If we are heading in the direction of web interfaces, I think we should
look at XAML or XUL or something similar. From what I can tell, they
will be adding silverlight support to mono, so using XAML will be
possible. This also separates the code for functionality from the
interface and can allow skinning of the entire application interface
set.
This will abstract you from every widget set. Each action could be
exported and called from the UI without needing to worry about all
that.
At least, that's my take on it currently.
